Bathmate Success?

Hi guys
I want to get a Bathmate, more specifically the xx40, but I constantly get conflicting information on whether the gains are permanent or not.

To the people that have a Bathmate;
-Have you made permanent girth gains?
-How significant were they?
-Have you made permanent length gains?
-How significant were they?
-Did you get permanent discoloration? If so, how severe was it?
-Do you recommend getting a bathmate?

Thank you so much in advance, your experience is very valuable to me. :)

It’s hard for me to pin my success to one piece of equipment, as I do lots of stretches, jelqs and used to wear an extender quite a bit. I attribute all my length gains to those things, and my girth to my Bathmate. I have gained a half inch in girth, going from five inches to five and a half at mid-shaft. I think it took me about six months for my first quarter inch, then I think I got another quarter inch over the next six months. There is a “Raybbaby’s Bathmate log” or some such thing where I tracked my progress, it is really long though. Discoloration did last a while, but it does fade eventually.

I had permanent girth gains of about .2" inches and additional temporary gains of another .25" inches. (I was about 4.8" before BM, went up to 5.25" and am now hovering just over 5")

No permanent length gains that I would attribute to the BM. I did gain .1" to .25" during the time I was incorporating the BM into my routine but I was also following a good manual routine, which is why I think I was able to keep some of the girth gains

No permanent discoloration, but I also used the BM at very minimal pressures. The manufacturers recommend pumping the product "all the way down" so that no more water comes out, but they don’t mention that this could be anywhere between 10hg and 15hg of pressure

Here’s a video showing an x30 at max pressure reaching 17hg

For context most air pumpers don’t exceed 5hg for a majority of their routines, and even in very experienced pumpers I rarely see people going over 7-9hg (there are people who go much higher but I’m just speaking generally of what I’ve read) I wish someone would have mentioned just how much excess pressure the bathmate could create before I got mine because I definitely overdid it when i first got mine.

If you want to use it safely you basically have to pump the minimal amount to maintain a seal and then maybe pump a little more, but it’s impossible to know how much pressure you’re actually using due to the lack of a gauge. I hear people say to "go off of sensation" but this is terrible advice imo as it’s hard to know when there’s too much pressure especially if it’s your first experience in pumping.

Would I recommend getting one? Honestly no. I’m going to be ordering my first air system soon which is going to cost me $10 less than my bathmate that I got at a wholesale price (~$110 for an x40). Strongly considering just throwing my x40 away as it’s rather annoying to hide a footlong plastic cock pump, and after realizing how hard it is to use consistent pressures with it I have no real desire to go back even if air pumping doesn’t work out for me. There are very real benefits to hydro pumping, I just don’t think the bathmate is an efficient system.

I’m not sure how much more luck I’ll have with air pumping, but overall the bathmate didn’t live up to the hype for me and I feel like the manufacturers don’t provide clear enough information to their customers. Don’t get me wrong it can still be a good tool especially if you’re only able to pump in the shower/bath, but I guess I’ll just have to see how I do with an air pump before I try to compare results.

Sorry that was so much reading but I hope it helped!

Lol im about to throw away my x40 also after maybe 5 uses. Its ok but i dont like it not having a gauge and it just wasnt fun for me to use. Air pumping i am obsessed with and i wish i could be in the pump most of the day lol.

Use the search button for bathmate you’ll get a lot more info then starting a new bathmate thread

Thank you so much for your time guys, it’s really good hearing different opinions too. I’ll do a lot of research and possibly get one or not haha, we’ll see.

I’ve gained th majority of my length from pumping. Having a gauge is critical. It ensures safe pumping and repeatable results.

I have the X30 and have been using it for the last 6 months. I can say that I gained .25in in girth since then.
I use it most days for 20-30 minutes, gradually building up the pressure - I.e. Start off just pumping enough to get a seal and feel the tension. Using the warmest water as possible. As you feel more comfortable pump a bit more. I remove it every 5 minutes, do some jelqs, ulis and plump bends, and then go for it again. Usually the last 2-3 sets I’m at full pressure and at my max length. I follow it with some edging and keep doing blended pulls throughout the day when I take a bathroom break.
My unit stays plump throughout most of the day and now I’m following my EQ better - if I wake up with no wood, I skip that day.

BTW, mine has the comfort sleeve insert, so my unit doesn’t get pinched by the baffles. I also used the black foam comfort pads, but they tend to warp and screw up the seal over time - plus they keep my base from expanding, so I’ve abandoned them in search of base girth expansion.
Finally, I sometimes take the comfort sleeve out and use the unit by itself so that I can see how I really look in the tube vs. The ruler marks.

Good luck.

Hey, John. Don’t toss it out, sell it. That’s what I did with an extra BM that I did not need. I used it a dozen times and got most of my money back.

No gains are permanent if you stop doing something. Like muscles in the gym, and even intellect.
I gained 1/2” in length, 1/4” in mid shaft girth, and 3/8” in base girth from using the x40 alone for a month. I still average a gain of 1/8” per week.

The discoloration you’ll get is a darker skin tone, assuming from the added blood flow you’ll subject yourself to. Discoloration shouldn’t be an issue. If a woman doesn’t like the sight of it, toss her aside.

I was hesitant to spend $200 dollars on a bath mate myself. I didn’t NEED it and it was a decent amount of money to spend at 21 years old for something unnecessary. If you want to get one, do it. If not, then don’t. It’s worked for me so far and has gave me great gains in the shortest amount of time.

I’m definitely getting one. I’m 21 years old, I wish I had started earlier but now is the time. I started off with a super nice dick, I’m gonna make it perfect!

I started at 47, so you are way ahead of me. Good luck with your journey. What are your stats?

Since we are both the same age, you should be able to gain as much, and as fast as I have. What I’ve noticed is pumped length will cement faster than the girth.
